Lack of camera - will I regret it?
I have the option of buying a new in stock XC90 Momentum with no options fitted. I think I'm correct in saying that this means there will be no reverse camera.
Does anyone have an XC90 without cameras and if so, do you regret it? Thanks in advance |
Not sure if your spec has cameras or not, but I wouldn't buy a car this size, without cameras. Its preferable to get the 360 view camera. Makes parking this car so easy and effortless.

Completely agree on the 360 camera and not just for parking. Over the last couple of days it's enabled me to cross over a very tight bridge and to traverse though a ridiculous overcrowded over-flow car park where the rule seems to have been: "find any space and park in it"!

Try for a good discount on the car, whose price already reflects its specification of course. Fairly confident that a rear camera can be fitted as an accessory, either the Volvo genuine equipment or one off eBay if it is a deal killer. Ask the dealer. |
A car this size really needs a camera. I've driven an XC90 without the 360 camera and really missed it.

All my current cars apart from the LC and Ranger do have cameras though and I really do wish that the above had them too, but only because they are my main towing vehicles and rear camera makes hitching up so very much easier single handed. My trailers are on and off three or four times a week on average, so how I have ended up with three vehicles that don't tow, with cameras, and the two I do tow with, without, is a mystery that grates. |

I would option this every time as it is not just used for reversing and has indication lines from all 4 corners to so you can maneuver in tight spaces and has tow hitch lines to assist in hooking up to towbar, and warnings from every angle if you get too close to anything. You can also choose 360° view or front or rear or either side view. And has zoom. |
I would say it's a must have as it's available. Ask the dealer if he can fit one before delivery. You will not regret it.

The world changes. He's not buying a car in the past, he's buying it today. Are cameras needed? I'm another vote for essential, and I'd go so far as to extend that to the 360. If mine didn't have the 360 my parking would take a lot longer and/or frequently be worse and potentially annoy other people. If you get a discount on the car be very clear that you understand - you're getting that discount to inconvenience yourself for the time you own the vehicle. You'll be the one losing out. They'll effectively have paid you to put up with the hassle. And it is hassle, you just might not know it if you never had it in the first place / don't know you're missing it. |
